How does Xiu Jie Kai get his daughters to eat their vegetables?

Xiu Jie Kai attended a charity event in Taipei yesterday (Nov 19), where he demonstrated his cooking skills by whipping up some tomato beef stew on the spot.

According to the Taiwanese actor, he prefers using cast iron cookware at home. Not only is it effective in locking in flavour, it’s also a good way to prepare dishes that satisfy picky eaters like his own two daughters, four-year-old Bubu and two-year-old Bobo.

“There are certain vegetables that they don’t like to eat, such as green beans, cabbages, and onions,” he said. “So what I do is I chop them all up and cook them together with other ingredients. I basically do this with anything they don’t like to eat.”

Jie Kai then shared that both his girls have an interest in culinary activities, and sometimes make their own biscuits and pudding. Bubu also enjoys being his little kitchen assistant and helps out with simple tasks such as beating eggs or trimming beansprouts. “Whenever she helps prepare a dish, she will always say it’s especially delicious,” he laughed.
